For years the anti-gunners have been making life hell for gun owners by playing "gotcha" over technical violations (and voting for layering on yet more rules/requirements that can be used as more "gotchas").
So now here they are, hoist upon their own petard.
They play the game of burying *us* under countless regulations, but don't seem to think that *they* should have to follow any rules (even the gun laws, as when Carl Rowan illegally possessed/used a handgun in handgun-banning DC, and Sarah Brady illegally did a "straw purchase" of a firearm recently to give as a gift).
So now they get a taste of their own medicine. Not only could it not have happened to a bigger bunch of statists, but as another poster pointed out, maybe they'll start getting a clue if *they* get bitten on the butt a few times by the same sorts of "technicalities" that they've been using as a weapon on us all these years.
WE are the "radicals" now, because we are fighting the liberal status quo.
